you really got a hold on me

Photo by Henry Grossman

photo taken by Denise Wernek on Feb 14, 1967


I find this to be just so awesome!   Notice the girls sitting at EMI waiting for the Beatles.   Lizzie Bravo is the girl in the glasses with the beautiful smile.   Next to her is who I believe to be her friend, Denise who took this great photo of Paul where he looks sort of like a spy during the recording of the Sgt. Pepper album.   In the Grossman photo she is holding up the Paul photo that she took and here is a copy of the actual photo.  I just think this is so cool and I hope it doesn't anger anyone that I posted it.

Thanks to Lewis for sending me the H. Grossman photo and to Bruno for the Paul photo.

  1. Now that is pretty amazing! Its mad you have the photo that Denise is holding, and its made that you recognised it. I was wondering what pics she was holding up.
    What a great find well done.
    Hope you post the other photo of the girls outside the studio showing the back of the front door, that H Grossman took.

  2. hi sara! there are three photos of us from that moment in the henry grossman book "kaleidoscope eyes". the publishers sent me a copy at the time, the book is AWSOME! yes, that's me and denise and yes, she took that photo on that day, february 14th, 1967, which is the day i arrived in london and saw the four beatles plus brian leaving emi studios. so that's what paul looked like the first time i ever saw him! denise and i are still friends. she lives very near me here in rio. good memories!

  3. the weird thing is nobody seems to know who that girl is. she wasn't a "regular" at the studios. i've sent this photo to a lot of friends and nobody remembers her. i will find out one day!

  7. yes, lewis, i was very lucky. but it also took a lot of guts to leave my very comfortable middle class life in rio to live in london with very little money and cleaning people's homes for a living so i could see john (i found a great au-pair job in my last year, but the beginning was quite rough). most of my die-hard beatle fan friends here in rio could have gone too, but only denise and i were crazy enough to follow our dream.

  8. Am I ever glad you did follow your dream. Crazy? I think not. Just look at what came of it. And now you are willing to share it with us all. I'm a lucky guy. :)

  10. I know i'd rather go to Abbey Road! Funny, I've done similiar things at Premieres in London, waiting round all day and night to see a celebrity and maybe get a photo or autograph.
